Its a survey, Its much more fun to put down stupid stuff like that than a real answer, trolling the statistics and what not.

Us Brits would never take that kind of survey seriously. We might have a few dumb people, but we have a lot more sarcastic people. We pretty much pride ourselves on it. It does get a bit awkward when people from other countries don't get the joke though.

The dumb people here are the ones that are taking any conclusions from the survey.

Nuh uh! When you drop an apple it falls to the ground. You see it fall to the ground. Gravity makes it fall to the ground therefore you have seen gravity acting on the object.

That is what seeing gravity means, and that is proof that that small 18% of British people have a significantly higher intellect than the remaining 82% in the survey.

They were expecting honest answers? Especially when its going on about something like this? Really?

Funniest thing I've read in a while - the title actually made me chuckle out loud before I even saw the rest of the article.

I wonder how many know the difference between the Empire in Star Wars and the British Empire?

No seriously they were trolling, I remember seeing this questionnaire and a friend filled out that they thought they were real. Said friend is well aware they are not real and because we get so many questionnaires and people wanting information off each other that sometimes it's fun to fill them out intentionally wrong

I'm thinking dubiously worded questions are to blame.

-Lightsabers do exist you can go into your local entertainers and buy one for your child.
-Hoverboards do exist it's just that they are air cushion ones rather than anti gravity
-Memory erasing technology does exist its called drugs, consult your local pharmacist/drug dealer


The gravity thing is probably trolling or an improperly worded question.

Also there is the fact that only a certain type of person responds to a survey so the result is for one fifth of that type of person and cannot be generalized.

If we Brits are handed surveys we never take them seriously; even our government sent census ones.

If this is true, I weep for mankind. It's probably just a large-scale joke, though. Hopefully.

According to a new survey, over a fifth of U.K. citizens have trouble separating science fiction from reality.
Which is clearly another issue entirely, since Star Wars is a setting made of equal parts fantasy and denial.

...But anyway, I'm assuming that's the result of a bunch of joke answers. Hope so, at least.

Since we are gonna start splitting hairs, gravity is an invisible force. You cant see gravity, only how it affects its surrounding enviroment.
